Unseen replied to TheyCallMeDave's discussion 'Soldier killed in Woolwich, London, UK'"I think some expertise should be devoted to how in Islam the normal revulsion carrying out an atrocity is stripped from the personality of some of their men. One of the killers was interviewed by a civilian with some sort of video camera…"
Unseen replied to Adam's discussion 'Do Men have the right to a "financial abortion"'"I honestly dont see how you can say morality is not a system of social engineering as our moral ability has evolved specifically as a way to modify or restrain our bahaviors so as to make social living worth while.

Unseen replied to TheyCallMeDave's discussion 'Soldier killed in Woolwich, London, UK'"I think that the government can do little to prevent such incidents due to legal limitations, so that leaves the "good Muslims" to deal with those among them who are potential terrorists. Unfortunately, there are bad imams who instigate…"
Unseen replied to Holo Gram's discussion 'Does every living animal have a consciousness?'"I know what you're saying, but to me that is metaphorical not actual pain. Speaking as someone who went through a 2-year clinical depression many years ago, the only people who are unaware of being depressed are those who don't know what…"
Gary Clouse replied to Unseen's discussion 'It's little companies who are destroying the middle class'"First, Steve Jobs is dead.
While the DQ worker must be honest, hard working, clean and industrious, by most accounts of people who knew Jobs, he was none of those.

Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
